2.11 The Text Menu

 The Text menu contains commands for performing operations with and on text that cannot be done from within the in-line or out-line editor. The following commands are available:

• Find.  Pops up a find dialog like the Find text operation presented in section 2.5.3. The find dialog looks like figure 2.6, except that the find dialog from the Text menu has an extra check button named substring. When this option is set, this indicates that the text to find should not match the entire shape label or cell text but only a substring. Find substring is the default. When the Find string is an empty string then it matches only with empty labels.
• Replace.  Pops up a replace dialog like the Replace text operation presented in section 2.5. The replace dialog looks like figure 2.7, except that the replace dialog from the Text menu has an extra check button named substring. This indicates that the text to find should match only a substring of the entire shape label or cell text. Replace substring is the default. The string to find and the string to replace with can be empty but not both at the same time.
• Default Font.   This entry shows a menu containing three submenus for setting the default font family, default font style and default point size. Each new shape or table row or column will have this font. Page headers and footers, page numbers and table row and column labels are also drawn in the default font.

  The font families include Helvetica (default), Times, Courier, New Century Schoolbook and Greek. The font styles are Roman (default), Italic, Bold and Bold-italic. The available point sizes are 6, 8, 10 (default), 12, 14, 18 and 24. When the X server has Adobe fonts installed then the X fonts and the corresponding PostScript fonts look the same. The fonts of the PostScript output contain the ISO Latin-1 character set.

• Update Font.   This entry shows a submenu containing three submenus to update the font family, the font style and the point size. The entries of these menus are commands to alter the font of existing shapes or cells. When you issue one of these commands, each selected shape or cell is redrawn with this new font. Note that a shape in a diagram that has more than one text label cannot have different fonts for the different text labels.
• Default Alignment.   This entry contains a menu that sets how multi-line texts are aligned by default in diagram and tree editors: Left, Centered or Right. In the case of table editors there is a distinct Default Column Alignment and a Default Row Alignment entry. The default column alignment can either be Left, Center or Right. The row alignment can either be Top, Center or Bottom.  
• Update Alignment.   This menu contains a submenu to update existing multi-line texts. Each selected shape receives this text alignment. In table editors there are distinct entries to update the column alignment and the row alignment.
